Plant defensins are small, cysteine-rich peptides with antifungal activity against a broad
range of yeast and fungi. In this study we investigated the antibiofilm activity of a plant …

The radish defensin RsAFP2 was previously characterized as a peptide with potent
antifungal activity against several plant pathogenic fungi and human pathogens, including …

Public health problems are associated with device-associated biofilm infections, with
Candida albicans being the major fungal pathogen. We previously identified potent …

Background Defensins are basic, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides that are important
components of plant defense against pathogens. Previously, we isolated a defensin, Pv D 1 …

In recent years, studies have demonstrated the function of many antimicrobial peptides
against an extensive number of microorganisms that have been isolated from different plant …

Plant defensins are active against plant and human pathogenic fungi (such as Candida
albicans) and baker's yeast. However, they are non-toxic to human cells, providing a …

Mutational analysis of Rs-AFP2, a radish antifungal peptide belonging to a family of peptides
referred to as plant defensins, was performed using polymerase chain reaction-based site …

Fusarium graminearum is the etiological agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a disease that
produces a significant decrease in wheat crop yield and it is further aggravated by the …

In this study, the antifungal activity of peptides extracted from Adenanthera pavonina seeds
was assessed. Peptides were extracted and fractionated by DEAE-Sepharose …

Plant defensins are small, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides. These peptides have
previously been shown to primarily inhibit the growth of fungal plant pathogens. Plant …
